OCTOBER

Social Media Launcher

Welcome to the October Launcher! Here you will find lots of ideas and inspiration to help you plan your social media content for the month ahead. This is a great place to start to create fabulous posts going towards the busiest sales period of the year!

I’ll also be updating you on the latest social media news and trends, what’s working right now for me and how you can stay ahead of the curve and grow a thriving community of your own.

Events To Tap Into In October…

There’s heaps of inspiration to be found by looking at what events are coming up in the month ahead, and it’s a great excuse to add a fresh twist to your social media posts.

The added bonus is that many of these events will trend on social media during the day / week / month of the event, as well as the days leading up to it. Joining the conversation gives you the opportunity to get more eyes and engagement on your posts - so use relevant hashtags!

Pro tip: You don’t have to use every event… be selective but, equally, don’t write an event off based on first impressions. The down side of a trending topic is that there will be a lot of noise so the more creative you can be, the more you will stand out! And remember, you can get more than one post out of a theme, topic or event so make the most of it.

Spend some time reflecting on each day and the opportunity, an event may not seem directly relevant at first glance but you never know what ideas it might inspire or what products you can attach to the theme!

And guess what, you can get more than one post out of a theme, topic or event so make the most of these opportunities, they only come around once a year!

I’ve included ideas for each of the events below to help get your creative juices flowing.*Every day will have a hashtag, just put the word together to create it

9 - World Post Day (free postage, free samples)Face your Fears Day (go live, selfie, essential oils, share your story)Own Business Day (share your business, behind the scenes, go live sharing your story and why you do what you do)Beer & Pizza Day (share a selfie, image of food - who else is celebrating this glorious day?)

10 - Handbag Day (share a pic of you’rs asking ‘whats in your bag, how many useless items?)

Also around the corner…

Movember - so start prep or some grooming products for menPomegranate Month - Do you have samples of wax or fragrances with pomegranate in to share with VIP’s next month?

What’s working for me…

Each month I fill you in on what’s working particularly well for me on social media, so using this as a starting point, think about how you could put your own spin on these strategies.

Looking at the above days of the month, why not do what works really well for me which is find a product or a problem (does it fall on any of these days its uses/problem solving) then use this is a focus to create your own 5-day promotion - every day share a tip/hack/idea/funny meme and ask your audience their thoughts. Asking questions is a huge part of my own strategy, why don’t you try it in yours!

Which products do you offer that can focus on creating 5 days of tips & tricks, ending with a live demo on the Friday or a end of week special offer?
